Under the Gun Push/Fold Range at 8 BB (9-Max)
Push 18% of hands
The Under the Gun pushes 18% of hands at 8BB (9-Max).
Marginal hands on the threshold — Q9s, K9s, A9o, J9s, 98s — can go either way; the Nash solution mixes them, so a consistent default (push or fold) is fine in practice.
This range is 9% tighter than at 5BB.
At 8BB you have almost no post-flop game left — push or fold is the only strategically sound option every hand.
